#EroticMusings 25: Does your erotica ever explore chronic or terminal health?
I plan to write a short series focused on that topic - Namalenia is suffering from a progressing illness that picks up speed as she ages and Rhaise is suffering from a chronical condition after literally falling off an airship, almost drowning and barely surviving the ordeal. They meet on the island where …

Holey sheets: Double-Threshold Rupture of Draining Liquid Films
Classical rupture is attributed to molecular (van der Waals) forces acting at nanometric thicknesses. Nonetheless, micron-thick liquid sheets routinely perforate far above the scale where these molecular forces act, yet the mechanism that selects opening versus healing has remained unclear. Using direct numerical simulations of a draining sheet with an entrained air bubble (cavity), we show that irreversible rupture occurs only when a deterministic double-threshold is crossed: (i) the outward d…

Neue Unterstützungszusagen für NATO-Einsatz "Eastern Sentry"
Für den neuen NATO-Einsatz zur Sicherung des Luftraums an der Ostflanke gibt es weitere Unterstützungszusagen. Wie das oberste Hauptquartier der alliierten Streitkräfte in Europa (Shape) im belgischen Mons mitteilte, wird Spanien in Kürze Beiträge ankündigen. Britische Kampfjets werden sich am Schutz des polnischen Luftraums beteiligen, te…

NATO will Flanke zu Russland stärken
Die NATO zieht Konsequenzen aus der Verletzung des polnischen Luftraums durch russische Drohnen. Man starte zum Schutz der Ostflanke eine neue Militäroperation, so Generalsekretär Rutte. Dafür soll unter anderem die Flugabwehr ausgebaut werden.

As we continue down this path of escalating nihilistic meme violence, it can feel like the worst things have become viral. We are drowning in the memetic effluent of a capitalist media that profits by maximizing engagement. But I wonder if anyone remembers "Pay it Forward?"
A movie came out in 2000 about a kid who started a viral kindness campaign. The idea was that you do something nice for someone else with the expectation that they do the same in the future. I never really saw the movie, but I do remember the time. There were a few weeks, maybe a few months, where people started doing it. People would just be randomly nice, and everything actually just started feeling better.
Over time, the world caught up. Capitalism consumed the whole thing, and life went back to normal. 9/11 happened the next year, and the US started down the path of becoming the most twisted and evil version of itself. But there was a short time that doing nice stuff was a viral meme, a thing that people just started doing.
Gun violence doesn't have to be the only viral meme we have. We can make good things happen too.

NATO baut Schutz der Ostflanke aus
Die NATO startet nach den mutmaßlich vorsätzlichen Luftraumverletzungen durch Russland eine neue Militäroperation zum Schutz der Ostflanke. Das teilte Generalsekretär Mark Rutte in einer Pressekonferenz mit dem Oberbefehlshaber der alliierten Streitkräfte in Europa, Alexus Grynkewich, mit.
Den Angaben zufolge sollen bei der Operation mit dem Namen "Eastern Sentry"…

Structural, optical, and electrical properties of Cu-doped NiO films synthesized by spray pyrolysis for potential gas sensing applications
Cu-doped NiO thin films were deposited on ITO substrates via spray pyrolysis at 450 °C for 1.5 minutes. XRD confirmed a cubic NiO structure, with Cu incorporation reducing crystallite size, increasing interplanar spacing, and expanding the lattice parameter, indicating successful substitution of Cu ions. Optical analysis showed a slight bandgap reduction from 3.70 to 3.65 eV, while PL revealed lower emission intensity, suggesting enhanced defect states and suppressed carrier recombination. Ram…

Modeling Emission-Line Surface Brightness in a Multiphase Galactic Wind: An O VI Case Study
We present a fast and robust analytic framework for predicting surface brightness (SB) of emission lines in galactic winds as a function of radius up to $\sim 100$ kpc out in the circum-galactic medium. We model multi-phase structure in galactic winds by capturing emission from both the volume-filling hot phase (T $\sim 10^{6-7}$ K) and turbulent radiative mixing layers that host intermediate temperature gas at the boundaries of cold clouds (T $\sim 10^4$ K). Our multi-phase framework makes sig…

The beta decay of Tz=-2 64Se and its descendants: the T=2 isobaric multiplet
In this paper we present our results on the decay of 64Se. It is the heaviest Tz=-2 nucleus that both beta decays and has a stable mirror partner Tz=+2, thus allowing comparison with charge exchange reaction studies. The beta decays of 64Se and its descendants were studied at the RIKEN Nishina Center (Tokyo, Japan) following their production in the fragmentation of 78Kr on a beryllium target. Beta-delayed gamma-ray and particle radiation was identified for each of the nuclei in the decay chain …
